The Rapier weapons carrier is used extensively by the Solar Auxilia – its rugged track assembly can transport support weaponry too heavy for an auxiliary to carry. The Rapier fulfils a number of battlefield roles in both attack and defence, and can be deployed alongside all manner of different force types, from vanguard exploration to full-scale planetary assault.
Bring Out the Big Guns
This multipart plastic kit builds 2 Rapier Carriers and 2 additional crew on foot, heavy support weapons for your Solar Auxilia armies in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. These mobile platforms allow you to support the implacable advance of your infantry formations while also being able to quickly redeploy as the tactical situation requires.
Gear Up Your Gunners
Each Rapier can be armed with either a 'Thudd Gun' quad launcher for taking out infantry formations or a mole mortar for attacking dug-in enemies and the vulnerable bottom armour of tanks. The crew on foot have interchangeable arms, including options carrying rifles, scopes, and a map. There are also options to carry extra ammunition for each weapon type.
Rules for this unit can be found in the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy Journal Tactica: The Battle for Tallarn – Part One supplement, available separately.
